GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

Gov. Hughes massage to the legisla-
ture is cartainly the result OF much
thinking and distinct out groupings Of a
clear knowledge of the many needs OF
Arkansas. According to our humble
judgement it is splendid pattern, nicely
cut, without hem or gore by which the
present general assembly should use the
scissors of common. sense and let their
work fit without alteration. Among the
many splendid suggestion, we find room
for the following:
Under the present road law Of the
state and its, administration, 1t is not
probable that our public roads will ever
become what they ought to be, and there
is some Just complaint that the WORK
which is done on the roads falls most
heavily upon those least able to bear the
burden of keeping up the roads Equal.
Itv is equity, especially in matters OF
taxation. Good roads are great desld-
eratum. recommend that the road law
be amended so that it shall be made OBJ
ligatory upon the county courts OF the
different counties to levy tax OF one
mill on the dollar in each year, on all
the property in the county subject to
taxation. and that provision be mace
that they may levy, not exceeding two
mills in any one year, for road purposes
at theil discretion; and that no person
shall be required to work the public
roads more than six days in any one
year."
